AWA85 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Would you say it is safe to assume that the Nebraska vs. Michigan start time will be a 2:30 pm start time? Looking around at the other games in conference, you would think the prime time slot would be a lock? Planning my trip and ticket purchases! Thanks and GBR 1 Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Prime time? I thought that was 7 pm, not 2:30. Quote Link to comment

RockyMountainOySker Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Prime time? I thought that was 7 pm, not 2:30. All late games are decided prior to the season so the only options are 11am or 2:30. Quote Link to comment

Looking out two weeks( Michigan week), they don't appear to have primetime games scheduled yet. Quote Link to comment

Not true. There's not actually even a real rule against night games in November either, it's just not happening yet. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I hope and pray it's a night game. Quote Link to comment

That's just horrible that we now think a 2:30pm start is primetime. Delaney, everyone says how smart you are, then how in the hell have you not figured out you have to play night games in November. I still remember when we were in the Big Texas Conference and all these great games would be on at night and the B1G was nowhere to be found. They were an afterthought. I really believe this is one HUGE reason the B1G is getting weaker. Night games bring more viewers and show you are relevant and still breathing. It hurts recruiting to not have primetime slots across the league which is why the conference is getting weaker. Fewer good players equals worse teams and a slide to irrelevance. You have to market the brand and that means getting in the best time slots no matter what!!!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Generally, the pre-season scheduling end in early-to-mid October. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'd much rather have MSU for a night-game. We're solid in night homegames, shaky away from Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Delaney and the Big 10 are not standing in the way of night games in November!! He said this himself this past February!! It's totally up to the networks and schools!! If they want to do it, the conference administration would no longer stand in the way. Why do I feel like I'm taking crazy pills??!! https://www.google.com/#q=jim+delany+november+night+games Quote Link to comment
AWA85 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I did not know they have loosened up on the "no night games in November", that is the only reason I considered a 2:30 the prime spot. Guess we will have to sit back and wait, fingers crossed to avoid the early slot. Quote Link to comment

Guess we will have to sit back and wait, fingers crossed to avoid the early slot. Sure I understand. I'm just trying to get across that night games in November-it's not like it's a writtin rule or anything. And besides, 2:30 games in November after the time change go into night anyway. Esp the ETZ schools like Ohio St and Penn St. In all honesty, I dont see any night games in November happening simply becuase there's just nothing to offer. Quote Link to comment
